June 18, 2020
Thune, Brown Introduce Bill to Relieve Mobile and Remote Workers of Unfair Tax Burdens Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic
Sen. John Thune, ...
June 17, 2020
Tweet - "#COVID19 has highlighted for many Americans something South Dakotans have long known: wide-open space is good for the soul (and your savings). I think more Americans are giving consideration to places around the country, like South Dakota, where we have low taxes & lots of space."
Sen. John Thune
June 15, 2020
Letter to Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader, and Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader - Make Expanded Telehealth Access in Cares Act Permanent, Tester Urges Senate
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
June 12, 2020
Letter to Steven T. Mnuchin, Department of the Treasury Secretary, and Jovita Carranza, Small Business Administration Administrator - Tillis, Colleagues Send Letter Urging the Administration to Provide Paperwork Relief for Small Businesses who Utilized the COVID-19 Relief Program
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "The May #JobsReport underscores @SenateGOP 's calls to look closely at already-passed #COVID19 measures before pushing out more relief $$. If Dems had their way, we would've already spent $3 TRILLION more. We're mortgaging our kids' and grandkids' future. We have to get it right."
Sen. John Thune
June 5, 2020
Letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy - Conaway Urges Pelosi and House Leadership to Protect Life in COVID-19 Legislation
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
May 29, 2020
IRS, Get It Together
Rep. Dusty Johnson
May 21, 2020
Tweet - "A reminder to my colleagues: Every dollar we spend is borrowed from our children & grandchildren. Haven't we all heard that money doesn't appear out of thin air? We had a crisis. We had to put out a fire. But let's not rush to spend & borrow more before examining what's needed."
Sen. John Thune
May 21, 2020
Tweet - "Wouldn't it be logical, wouldn't it be prudent, wouldn't it be rational for the Senate, the custodians, the stewards of the American people's tax dollars, to take a hard look at what is & what's not working before rushing headlong into spending another three $3 trillion dollars?"
Sen. John Thune
May 21, 2020
Tweet - "How to Quickly Explode the Debt 101: Spend trillions of borrowed dollars don't take time to see what is/is not working to help the country rashly spend 3 trillion more (and be sure to sneak in unrelated agenda items). I think Democrats are teaching the class."
Sen. John Thune
May 14, 2020
Tweet - "Was on the air with @hughhewitt this AM. We spoke about House Dems' massive new spending package that's really a grab bag of Dem agenda items disguised as #COVID19 relief. As was said, it mentions cannabis more times than it mentions jobs. Nobody is taking it seriously."
Sen. John Thune
May 12, 2020
Tweet - "House Dems have frantically cobbled together a 1,815-page partisan bill at the cost of $3 TRILLION. Republicans have been left out of negotiations. This is a partisan messaging exercise, plain and simple, aimed at scoring as many political points as possible."
Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Hon. Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader - Lamb, Gibbs Lead Bipartisan Call to Fund Transportation Infrastructure
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
May 11, 2020
Tweet - "Governors shouldn't attempt to cash in on American workers who are coming into states to help fight #COVID19. A hefty tax bill isn't the "thank you" our health care workers & first responders deserve. I have a bill to simplify tax issues for these workers."
Sen. John Thune
May 4, 2020
Letter to Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and Hon. Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader - Mullin Urges House Leaders to Include Funding for IHS, Tribal Health Facilities in Next Relief Package
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...

Letter to Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the Treasury, and Jovita Carranza, Administrator of the Small Business Administration - Markey Joins Rubio, Cardin, Colleagues on Bipartisan Letter to Treasury and SBA on an Administrative Fix to the 7(A) Loan Program Authorization
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
April 28, 2020
Letter to Hon. Jovita Carranza, Small Business Administration Administrator - McSally Urges Improvement to Small Business Disaster Loan Program
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
April 28, 2020
Tweet - "We'll do what it takes to get the U.S. through this crisis, but everything the federal gov is doing right now to give relief is happening with borrowed money. Every additional request that's made is additional dollars going on the debt. The spigot can't stay open forever."
Sen. John Thune
April 28, 2020
Letter to Jovita Carranza , Admin. of the Small Business Administration - Cornyn Urges EIDL Improvement for Texas Small Businesses
Sen. Mike Rounds, ...
April 27, 2020
Tweet - "Remember there's no amount of federal spending in Washington that can substitute for a dynamic economy. We'll do whatever it takes to respond to this crisis & get America back on its feet, but to fully recover, we need to address the health emergency & safely reopen the economy."
Sen. John Thune
April 23, 2020
